Two pipelines to ensure 70% wastewater recycling in Abu Dhabi
Two new pipelines will ensure that about 70 per cent of treated wastewater in the emirate of Abu Dhabi is reused for irrigation and landscaping, an expert said.
Tenders have been issued for the construction of these pipelines, which will together help recycle a further 265,000 cubic metres of water every day, said Dr Mohammad Dawoud, water resources adviser at the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD).
One pipeline will therefore be built alongside the Abu Dhabi-Dubai E11 highway, and when complete, it will provide 140,000 cubic metres of water a day to sites like the Abu Muraikha Forest, the Green Belt and Al Maha Forest. These areas currently require massive volumes of desalinated water. The pipeline is expected to extend for more than 40km.
The second pipeline will be located alongside the Al Ain Truck Road for more than 30km, and the aim is to use it to supply 125,000 cubic metres of water to farms in Al Wathba and Al Nahda.
